Joe:

Attractive bird, sharp, well exposed.

I might clone out the leaf that is touching this torso, and maybe the one hanging down between his legs.

The background is so close to the birds coloration, that perhaps it would pop a bit more with a curves adjustment.

Thanks for sharing. I have never seen this fellow before.

Joe:

I tweaked the curves and made a few other tiny tweaks here. I think it makes the bird pop out from the background more, but since you saw the original scene, I of course will defer to your judgement.

Cool bird, great pose, setting and BG. I would run NR on the BG and remove the one little branch partially covering the tip of the tail.

Lovely pose, and I like the colours on him. Well captured Joe.
